1500 isn't necessary. In fact, you're risking frying your phone! 1200 is the median for most.
Common Sense is learned..........

do 1500 but when u processor will be overheat, your phone gonna restart.
thats all....I don't remember no one in my life who broke the PHONE because overclocking.
For me 1400 best...because 1500 not stable for "heavy congestion."

It happens often. Why do you think is called "OVERclocking"? OEM's set specific numbers on their kernels for a reason. Besides the numbers themselves and meaningless quadrant scores, you'll probably not notice any difference between 1200 or 1400

yes I had my other G2x set to 1500 and the battery life was better for me...I prolly set it to 1400 to see how things go. I had to get a new G2x because say someone set me a text msg saying "hey" i would get 200-400 of them and then one day I restarted it and it go to the point where it said LG with the blue bar under it then it would restart...why I have no clue but I would like to figure out why before I have to send it back because I have it rooted and would like to unroot it before sending it back. I also have pictures on the phone that I don't really want to lose so if anyone could help me with that that would be great also.

nobody is really going to answer his question? If you are trying to change the speed either download a program called pimp-my-cpu or setcpu. Both of those will give you full access to do what ever u please to your phones processors. Hope this helps!

there is a place in the setting that you can do it at i just don't remember where to find it at.

[REQ]Undervolted kernel for G1?

Recently, I have seen the undervolted kernel for Nexus One which makes the battery spell longer.
Can anyone modify it for G1?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634587
Look on the app market, dude. There are like 5 apps\widgets to do that EXACT same thing. Nothing has to be ported.

They actually don't do the exact same thing... My kernel is undervolted, not underclocked. Theres a difference. Undervolted uses less power at the same speeds, underclocked just drops the clockspeed.
interesting

In other words all 72XX lack this ability correct?
But the new Armv7 should be capable like the Droid,legend,devour,etc.
You can lower the vdd for 528MHz, but the next jump down makes it so low that the phone would immediately crash.

So we can lower it but not up it for the overclock?
Also, can we lower it at the lower speeds? (I have mine set up to underclock when the battery is low, when the screen is off, etc. so a lower VDD (if stable) would be great.

How feasible is it to underclock the phone even further than the 128 MHz?
personaly , i dont see a huge advantage to underclocking past what we got now, undervolting.... nah,
@ sleep mine atleast has virtualy no background processes.
and even on a heavy use day, cell standby shows up as my largest drain.
you want much better battery life, id say look into hacking the radio on it.

[DEV] Overclocking the GPU !!

Take a look at this link
The GPU has been overclocked to 200 MHZ result from stock 25 fps to 36.5...
The desire(+-27FPS neocore) has the AMD Z430 GPU wich is also on the acer Liquid running at much higher 34,6 FPS @ the same resolution 800x480 but UC cpu768 MHZ although it still preforms much higher on neocore !
I'm sure that some of you developers with the knowledge are prepared figuring this out to get the desire GPU preforming better !..
(tnx to beidl) for those who're trying to find the changes: http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/m...8a6a0dfe5ba912
The Snapdragon Processor holds the CPU and GPU in one chip... i dont know if youre able to do that...
EDIT: maybe changing some clocking and voltage values in kernel???
More performance can somehow be squeezed out of it tho. Its just not good enough with the power it holds

I don't have much experience with kernel developing, I'm just a stupid java dev. lol
But I'd like to see this added to the 2.6.32.9 kernels, and since we would be able to
change the clock frequency somewhere in /sys/module/clock/, something like a "SetGPU" would be a nice project to do.

Fstluxe,
First of all Thank you!! this is the Time and way to Inspire the devs that have the knowledge ,letting them bring this amazing Patch to the desire and maybe all the android Phones ! Great thank you for awaking the community..
So developers Please Come on Just try this out please!! i will putt my money on THIS project!!!!!

Wow. What a difference.

I really just wanted to make a thread because I cannot believe how much more I can get out of this device than my previous. I had an Epic 4G previous to this and switched back to tmobile because I got back on a family plan to save me some money. I was expecting to not get as great of device with the mytouch but I liked the price and that it was 4G. After rooting it flashing CM7 and the new kernel. Holy crap my Epic4G is garbage.
I just jumped back into the development thread and they finally have an OC kernel for 2.2 and they are pulling 16's in linpack and 1150+ in quadrant at 1.2gHz....I put my CM7 at 1.2 and I pulled 37.8 in Linpack and 1890 in quadrant . When I bump it up to 1.8gHz I pull 63.5 in linpack and in pull 3048 in quadrant.
I'm just stunned at how well this device has performed in the few days I have had it!
Oh and I forgot to mention that my battery life is WAYYYYY better. Haven't had to plug my phone in all day and ive been using facebook and texting all day. 12 hours and 40% battery still left! WOOT!
Welcome. I'm also a Galaxy S converter and have never looked back. This phone will definitely hold me over until a good 4.3" one comes out on tmobile.
Agreed. I liked the Vibrant but look at how hard of a time they're having just getting CM on it. While every thing can be ported to the MT4G such as CM, sense, and even MIUI. I know dual cores are right around the corner but I can honestly say that this phone will last me the full 2 years of the contract. Everything is blazing as it is, don't need to spend hundreds on a dual core when I won't even notice the speed increase.

FYI, I get higher linpack with my stock, non-overclocked MT4G than you do with CM7 and Higher quadrant than your CM7 at 1.2, And I'm stock, no overclock. But at 1.8, You win... so IMO CM7 is worthless, unless you just want that gingerbred looking jazz and don't like sense.
I got my gf a Captivate shortly after I got my MT4G and I felt a little embarrassed once the difference in quality became apparent. We still talk about her getting her an MT4G of her own when her contract with AT&T is finally up in like 9 months.
The pretty AMOLED screens are battery murderers.

Well what did you expect? thats why they call it stock as it has so much BS bolts its not even funny, IDK why you didn't just try IG. Thats the beauty of CM7RC1(ASOP2.3.2) as its modified for performance and power consumption with nice balance. Don't let the synthetic score get to your head as it means nothing and no way does it translate in to real world performance. Soon as I got MT4G in hours I rooted and put IG on it as CM7(GB) NB came out from Alpha most of us switched to the darkside no need to look back.

Ya I am a big hypocrite thats why I gave the warning. But far as your first comment goes I was just saying if you guys start it ill just simply end it just go look around for my SS as my power, memory is 3x more efficient then what you are using. For the second part I myself can't verify this as I only had stock rom for less than 1 hour before I got rid of that POS. If he says he got it then let him what diff does it make? If you call a cow a goat not it don't make it a goat now does it?

no however if you have advance task manager make sure no unnecessary processes are running so that quadrant can use as much ram/etc as possible, also i found underVOLTing and overCLOCKing it rendered some of the graphics blank making them load "faster" giving it a higher reading, also if ur on liberty 1.5 using the STAGEFRIGHT hack works too

While I'm not sure I get the point in this...
Droid Overclock in the market from Jrummy allows you to set custom frequencies. I have a profile set up for Max performance, at 1.45 ghz. When it came out, there was talk of people going up to 2 ghz if I remember correctly or it could have been a hoax, never looked into it. Definitely Risky, but you did say you already knew that, so don't come crying to back to the forums if you break something.
Stagefright.
It is not just a liberty mod, its a Build Prop mod that is easily edited in the liberty toolbox, you could always just edit the Build.prop yourself. I looked into this a while back with all the quadrant score hype and this removes the ability of the phone to play back video recorded from the device's camera or at least it used to, may have been fixed?.
Not 100% on this one, but I believe Stagefright is just false inflation of quadrant score, not really a performance increase; someone else feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Do you know were I could try the app out before buy it?
amazon
The amazon app market is the only place with "try before you buy" that I know of, but its in a web browser. Not really on the device, so would let you see features but not actually alter clock. Plus im not sure if that app is in the amazon market.

keeeeep gooiiingggg........do you have droid overclock?????
Honestly Quadrant scores are meaningless... If your phone is fast enough for you then you have it. Personally I see no reason to overclock Droid X or any other phone for that reason. A few hundred Mhz isn't going to change much in real world performance. Also you sacrifice battery life when you overclock.
Agreed on Quadrant Scores, however, many people are running higher frequencies with either stock or lower voltage, but doubt anyone is at 1.3ghz or higher without increasing voltage.
Also, with SetCpu, you can set up profiles to keep stock battery life with higher frequencies.

In Jrummys overclock app (Droid x Overclock) , there is the option to go up to 1.45 ghz. (To use the higher settings, go to the settings, then scroll down to "Scaling Frequency Preset" and select it. then go to set scaling frequencies, and select your voltage and speed. best of luck.
I got liberty 2.0.1 installed with stagefight on and my quadrant score is 2500+ with stage fright off my score was 1300 thats with a 1.2 overclock. Btw which is insanely stable compared to Liberty 1.5. For me atleast.
If you really want to see where your phone can run, buy quick clock advanced.from the market. It will test your phone for you to determine how low a voltage and how high a clock speed you can safely run. you can then load presets such as battery saver, balanced, or high speed. If you're on the Gb leak, it will not persist at boot, however

Thoughts on disabling one core when using CM7 variants

It was suggested to me that in order to prevent excessive battery drain and heat when using CM7 I should disable one of the cores. Has anyone done this? What negative impacts could doing this cause (if any)?

If anything it would increase battery drain due to all the processing being put on one single core, what I would recommend for a decrease in battery drain is different kernels with under volting options. That's what's worked best for me.

It was my perception that the older single core phones had better battery life. Do you really think it would hurt the battery?
Dual core isn't properly utilized yet so it might not be a bad idea.
Here is an example of my battery drain for today with the bricked kernel v1.4.

Changing kernel and undervolting did the trick for me. Getting 20 hours moderate use.

What are your settings?
Most of the time when both cores are on the 2nd isn't doing anything, because the first core isn't even pushed enough to reach max. So, I feel 1 core is sufficient, I'm running 4.1.x w/ 1 core @800 and the battery and speed are fine. Although I see others running speeds of 1.2 and higher, but I barely notice the difference of the freqs. The S3 is so fast that the higher clocks are overkill IMO.

I suspect you see a noticeable difference in battery life then? Also, what method did you use to disable the second core?

Honestly I don't even touch the settings I just run at default.

Pretty snappy
su
chmod 644 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo "0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
chmod 444 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
Someone in faux kernel forum was talking about doing this. Gscript app makes it easy to run script. If you dont like it just reboot and 2nd core is back on.

I tried Faux's and it was ok, I plan on trying Bricked tomorrow. However if disabling a core gives even better results then that might be the way to go.

I do see a difference in battery life, which is why I prefer this setup, when we have ICS I will use both cores. But I feel cheated on Ginger so I use 1 for now, and whoever said two cores has better batt is wrong...Logically two cores use twice the voltage, that means 1 cores will save a significant amount of power. A weak dual core w/ 1 core on will have bad life, but a fast on is different.

Is that permanent or does it need to be run each time you reboot?

Every boot, you can make a linux script(.sh) if you want, and then use script manager. But, I'm only testing this for comparison, I can't see the speed difference w/ 1 or 2 so I just use 1. 1 @800 core feels how fast my MT4G did when OC'd @1.4Ghz.

How long have you been running like that?
I run Faux kernel, Joe's RCU, undervolted -50mV and underclocked to 1Ghz, I can now easily make it through the day and I'm a moderate to heavy user. I'm pretty sure disabling the second core isn't necessary, and frankly, if you check out how little it's used, it probably wouldn't benefit that much anyhow.

Completely false. Just because something has voltage across it doesnt mean that it is doing anything. Voltage times current equal power. Using power uses the battery.
You guys need to SERIOUSLY change the way you make decisions. Just because something SEEMS logical to you, doesnt mean it is correct. I see alot of BAD info being pushed around here.
I have CM7 and run Fauxs kernels. I FORCE both CPUs online and run at 1.56Ghz. My standby is around 30mAH...Nuff said.
Something else is messed up. Chase facts, not fiction people.
Another issue? UVing. You guys break so many rules in electrical engineering that it isnt even funny. Ive explained things so many times that I am sick of it. I wont anymore, but will let you know that you have missed some key facts.

So me having better life w/ 1 core is false? Even though I've compared it w/ 2? And I don't know what your problem is but keep it to yourself, I didn't force you to respond to my post, only sharing my experiences.

Almost 1 day, battery around 30 still. But I listened to music, internet, sync and played some games so my life was shorten.

I didnt say this. It is obvious what I said, so why would you even ask me? Just scroll up pal.
You didnt simply give an experience...You implied that your experience is LOGICAL. It may to you, but it is incorrect. Dont just throw things out there, please. It makes people with backgrounds in power and energy pissed off.
Also, my finding completely debuncts your theory. At night, while I sleep, I see 5mAH draw.
